Hi,

This is a logon issue.

You have to start the MSSQLSERVER before you can run the SQLSERVER agent

Follow the steps below:

Click on start on the taskbar

click on run

type in: services. msc, then ok

On the servies pane look for MSSQLSERVER and double click on it.

Click on the log on tab

on the Log on as deselect This account and select Local System account option button

click on apply.

click on the general tab and click on start.

click on ok

that starts your MSSQLSERVER

Thereafter you can start your SQLSERVERAGENT.

I hope this sorts your problem
